What More UK among North West Export Champions for fourth year running

Padiham based What More UK is celebrating being crowned a champion for international exports for the fourth consecutive year.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) North West has included the UK's largest plastics manufacturer in its 2017 list of Export Champions.

Tony Grimshaw, What More UK director, explained: "The Export Champions is a group of successful exporters from a range of industries across the North West. Together we share best practice through events and provide mentoring support to other North West businesses looking to get started with exporting or to grow their export markets.

"What More is grateful for the support we received from UKTI and DIT when we started out exporting in 2008. Being an Export Champion is the perfect way for us to help other companies across the UK who are in the position we were in back then."

Now in its tenth year of exports, What More UK recently added the Philippines to their growing list of export markets - the 71st country to receive their Wham branded plastic homewares and storage products. They are also the holder of the Queen's Award for Enterprise in recognition of their outstanding achievements in international trade. What More UK is Britain's leading manufacturer of plastic housewares under the well-established Wham brand. The business has a portfolio of more than 700 products: plastic housewares, gardening and DIY products sold under the trusted and value-for-money Wham brand. In 2014 the business diversified into bakeware and today produces a range of Wham Cook non-stick and vitreous enamel bakeware at its purpose-built manufacturing facility. What More UK also owns the multiple award-winning PushPan brand bakeware range.
